Research
Research
We test whether measurable parameters of the author's state, recorded during the creation of a work, are linked to the reaction of independent viewers. State here means a set of measurable parameters, not personality or subjectivity.
What the research does not do
This is an unconfirmed research hypothesis, not an established fact. Similarity of viewers' reactions is not proof of reproducing a state of consciousness. A null, mixed or unreproducible result is a valid scientific result.
Viewer studies have not been conducted: every gate below has the status “not started”.
Evidence gates
Testing proceeds gate by gate: a failure at a gate stops further progress.
- G1Activation and reliabilitythe reaction differs from baseline and repeats within one viewernot started
- G2Specificitythe reaction differs from matched control worksnot started
- G3Group structurethe signature reproduces across independent viewersnot started
- G4Author–viewer linka pre-registered link survives the controlsnot started
- G5Replicationan independent sample reproduces the resultnot started
What the research does not do
- A research result never turns into a price assessment of a work.
- There is no “by reaction” sorting or filtering, no price premium for a record.
- The blind-assessment profile is never published next to the price.
Studies involving people begin only after ethical approval.
